Year 1 - Dynamics - A Harry Potter Fic.

Part 31- Valentine's POV

______________________________________________

(Great Hall)(Valentine's PoV)

______________________________________________

Jay, Vyla, and I, plus almost every other student, are heading to the great hall. I've been hearing talk from Vinny and Percy about how the Halloween feast is always amazing. Vinny has especially been blabbing about the food. Which has made me extremely curious but oh well.

"So, I'm never trying that stuff ever again," Vyla says.

"What's so bad about candy corn?" I ask, completely confused.

"It's gross!"

"Comes straight from Satan's ass cheeks!" Jay yells.

Vyla pauses to look at Jay questioningly.

This sends me bursting with laughter while people walk around us, wondering what the hell is wrong with us.

"Okay, okay, but I like it. I don't know why people don't like it, but okay. You're all just weirdos." I say.

"Says the only one of us who likes them." Jay comments.

"Yeah, yeah. There are other people who like it." I huff.

"Heathens," Jay mumbles.

"And you're friends with one so," I say, laughing.

We make it into the great hall- after getting a bit squished- and holy crap. The ceiling was enchanted so that there were dark thunder clouds, lightning, and thunder popping every other second. There are Jack-o-Lanterns floating above and the four long tables are filled with all types of food.

I say goodbye to Vyla and Jay and make my way to the Gryffindor table. I find Neville, Harry, and Ron, and sit next to Neville.

"Hey, guys."

"Hey, Valentine." Neville and Harry say. Ron doesn't really say anything. Guess he's not in the best of moods.

"Everything looks epic," I say, really amazed.

I start piling food onto my face, listening to the sound of all the students and professors talking.

"Has anyone seen Hermione? I haven't seen her in here." Harry asks.

"She's been hiding in the girls' bathroom. She's been in there all afternoon crying." Neville explains. After hearing this, Ron dips his head lower than it already was and keeps his eyes on his plate.

"I hope she's okay," I say, picking at my food.

Before anyone can say anything else, the front doors of the great hall bursts open and Professor Quarrel come running in, looking an absolute wreck.

"TROLL! In the dungeon! Troll in the dungeon!" He pants.

Hold on a second. Troll?? Why is there a troll here??

This catches everyone's attention and everything goes silent. Dumbledore along with a couple of professors stand. But before anyone says anything, Professor Quarrel says, "I thought you ought to know," and collapses face-first onto the floor. Everyone in the hall starts completely freak out, but that doesn't last long before Dumbledore steps in.

"ENOUGH!!" He yells. Everyone stops in their tracks.

"We will not insight a panic. House prefects take your houses back to your dormitories. Do not go anywhere else. Professors come with me to the dungeon."

The prefects start calling their houses over and making their way out of the great hall. Everyone is talking and rushing out. Once we get out I start heading to the Gryffindor dorms but stop when I notice something.

Harry and Ron are going the opposite way.

What are those idiots doing now?

Before I lose them I slip out of the crowd and follow them, keeping my distance. After a couple of minutes of running, we're close to the girl's bathroom.

*Terrified screams along with loud banging and crashes*

What the hell?! Was that Hermione?

The boys dart inside. I peek my head in the doorway and holy actual hell. I've never seen a troll before but those things are huge. Doesn't help that it's got a freaking club.

Ron and Harry try casting spells on the troll but that doesn't really work. I think it made it even madder. Ron's got balls, though, because he somehow manages to get on the troll's shoulders and- stick his wand up its nose?? Okay, that's gross.

Harry is leading Hermione away from the troll and she looks absolutely terrified.

Then the troll is knocked out and laying on the ground. But before I can process what just happened and figure out how they did that, I hear running and yelling coming this way.

Crap. I think it's the professors. I run over to a sorta dark hallway and hide, peeking around the corner. Dumbledore and Professors McGonagall, Snape, and Quarrel make their way inside the bathroom. I think Snape is limping.

Whatever, I gotta get out of here. I make a run for it and manage to get back to the Gryffindor dorms without being caught. That doesn't mean I'm safe from Percy, though.

Percy spots me and speed walks over, along with Fred and George.

"Where were you??" George asks, looking really concerned.

"You were supposed to be here with everyone," Percy says, looking equally concerned.

I'm gonna get in trouble no matter what I say, but I'm definitely gonna say what I saw.

"I uh.. had to find Dammon." I lie, hoping they believe me.

The twins give me skeptical looks but Percy is the first to say something.

"You're telling me you risked your life for a cat?"

"Well he's not just some cat, but yeah. Sorry.." I say.

I can tell the twins are still skeptical but none of the brothers push any further.

"At least you're safe," George says, heading to another group of people along with his brother.

Percy stays. "You sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine, I promise. I'm gonna hang in the room. Come get me if you need anything."

I leave before he says anything and make my way to my bed. Damon is curled on my bed. I flop down next to him, completely exhausted.

What in the world did I just witness? I wonder if Hermione is okay.

I fall asleep before thinking or doing anything else.
